Project description:The Cre-loxP system is one of the most powerful and commonly used techniques in neurogenetics, as well as in broad biomedical studies. The CaMKIIa-Cre mouse line, one of the earliest established Cre driver lines, has resulted in over 800 papers to date. While Cre driver lines are well characterized for Cre expression patterns, many are not well characterized for phenotypes. Here, we demonstrate that the second most widely used CaMKIIa-Cre line, Tg(Camk2a-cre)2Gsc (or CamiCre), shows significant overexpression of synaptotagmin 2, the most efficient Ca2+ sensor for fast synchronous neurotransmitter release, in Cre+/- hippocampus compared to wild-type littermates. Moreover, upregulation of immediate early genes, such as Arc and Fos, and genes presumably derived from bacterial artificial chromosome transgene, such as Slc6a7 were also observed in the Cre+/- hippocampus. These unexpected results suggest difficulties in interpreting results from studies using the CamiCre line and raise awareness of potential pitfalls in the use of Cre driver lines in general.

The CaMKIIa-Cre mouse line, one of the earliest established Cre driver lines, has resulted in over 800 papers to date. While Cre driver lines are well characterized for Cre expression patterns, many are not well characterized for phenotypes. Here, we show the results of differential expression analyses in the hippocampi of Cre+/- mice and wild-type littermates from the most widely used CaMKIIa-Cre line, Tg(Camk2a-cre)T29-1Stl (or T29-1). Results show differential expression of many genes including significant upregulation of St6gal2, a gene encoding beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 2, in the Cre+/- hippocampi. The physiological role of St6gal2 is not well studied, but it is implicated in schizophrenia and autism. These unexpected results may affect the interpretation of the results from studies using the T29-1 line and raise awareness of potential pitfalls in the use of Cre driver lines in general.

Project description:In the search for renewable sources of energy, bioethanol stands out as a benchmark biofuel because its production is based on a proven technological platform. Bioethanol is produced mainly from the fermentation of carbohydrates derived from agricultural feedstocks by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. One of the most widely adopted strains is PE-2, a heterothallic diploid naturally adapted to the sugar cane fermentation process used in Brazil. Here we report the molecular genetic analysis of a PE-2 derived diploid (JAY270), and the complete genome sequence of a haploid derivative (JAY291). The JAY270 genome is highly heterozygous (~2 SNPs per kilobase), and has several structural polymorphisms between homologous chromosomes. These chromosomal rearrangements are confined to the peripheral regions of the chromosomes, and appear to reflect ectopic homologous recombination between repetitive DNA sequences. Despite the complex karyotype of JAY270, this diploid, when sporulated, had a high frequency of viable spores (~93%). Crosses of haploids derived from JAY270 to a haploid of the unrelated laboratory strain S288c also resulted in diploids that had good spore viability (75-95%). Thus, the rearrangements that exist near the ends of chromosomes do not impair meiosis and spore viability, as they do not span regions that contain essential genes. This observation is consistent with a model in which the peripheral regions of chromosomes represent plastic domains of the genome that are free to recombine ectopically and experiment with alternative structures that may be associated with a fitness benefit. We also explore features of the JAY270 and JAY291 genomes that help explain their high adaptation to industrial environments, exhibiting desirable phenotypes such as high cell mass production and fermentation kinetics, high temperature growth and oxidative stress tolerance. The genomic manipulation of such strains could enable the creation a new generation of industrial organisms, ideally suited for use as delivery vehicles for future bioenergy technologies. This microarray experiment was used to compare the relative gene expression levels between two unrelated S. cerevisiae strain backgrounds: JAY270 and JAY309. Total RNA from each strain was prepared and used to synthesize differentially labeled cDNAs (Cy5 and C3 respectively). A positive Log2 (Red/Green) ratio indicates transcripts more abundant in JAY270, while a negative Log2 (Red/Green) ration indicates transcripts more abundant in JAY309.
